SINGER: Placebo

SONG:Blue American

I wrote this novel just for you
it sounds pretentious but it's true
i wrote this novel just for you
that's why it's vulgar
that's why it's blue
and i say, thank you
and i say, thank you
I wrote this novel just for mom
for all the mommy things she's done
for all the times she showed me wrong
for all the time she sang god's song
and i say thank you mom
hello mom
thank you mom
hi mom
I read a book about uncle tom
where a whitey bastard made a bomb
but now ebonics rule our song
those motherfuckers got it wrong
and i ask
who is uncle tom?
who is uncle tom?
who is uncle tom?
you are
I read a book about the self
said i should get expensive help
go fix my head
create some wealth
put my neurosis on the shelf
but i don't care for myself
i don't care for myself
i don't care for myself
i don't care
I wrote this novel just for you
i'm so pretentious, yes it's true
i wrote this novel just for you
just for you
just for you
